(HBO) - On April 11, Hoa Binh City People's Committee held a ceremony to receive the certificate of the provincially – ranked historical-cultural vestiges of Dinh Ca Temple, Yen Mong commune.
Mr. Bui Ngoc Lam, a Party Member, the
Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism awarded the ranking
Certificate of the provincial cultural and historical vestiges for Yen Mong
commune.
Dinh Ca Temple was formerly located on the
mound of Lai, a high mound, belonged to Yen Mong village, Hoa Binh commune, Ky
Son District, Hoa Binh province with an area of about 3.000m², facing south
east. This place is dedicated to worship the three mountainous saints of Tan
Vien Son Thanh, the first saint in the list of "four Immortals", which is
mentioned in the Vietnamese folk consciousness. This is an important evidence
of the long history of the formation and development of the area. For over the
years, the ancient house was damaged and many artifacts were lost. By 2014,
with the expense of socialization, the local people built a small house on the
old land of the temple to have a place for praying and worshipping. At present,
the relic still keeps two original relics of the temple and some festive items.
Every year, at the communal house, the
festival is held on the 8th to the 9th of the lunar January. In addition to the
holy procession of the Saint, in the festival days, there are also traditional
folk games that are so deeply cultural and attract people to participate in,
such as shuttle throwing, sticking pushing, tug of war, spindle hitting, etc.
Those rituals and ceremonies of the festival are aimed to educate young
generations about the fine history and culture of the ancestors of their
ancestors up to today.
With historical values, according to the
report of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the provincial
People's Committee issued Decision No 11 / QĐ-UBND of People's Committee of Hoa
Binh province on November 4, 2018 to recognize Dinh Ca Temple as a provincial
historical – cultural vestige.
